Out of curiosity, does anyone else get this issue while building plasma-desktop:

plasma-desktop/src/build/containments/folder/../../../plasma-desktop-5.1.0/containments/folder/plugin/internallibkonq/konq_popupmenu.h:93:7: warning: ‘KUrl’ is deprecated [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
       );
       ^
Linking CXX shared library libfolderplugin.so
[ 91%] Built target folderplugin
Makefile:127: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

I think I have updated all dependencies so I find it a bit of an odd one. Hints welcome

re-starting the build usually takes me to the following library getting linked before build() fails again...

Well, you didn't post the actual error, that is just a warning... it should be somewhere earlier in the log (search for "error")

You seem to be using the Air theme, do you get the same with Breeze?

dude, outstanding. selecting the Breeze theme instead of Air did it.

Sorry if I am being a bit dim - I have been on gnome and lxde/openbox for several years now. Havent used KDe since the early 2000s, and am still figuring out what determines what on the desktop. KDE does seem to have a number of desktop theming parameters, and I think they could have ben organised a bit better under system settings. I do agree that enables a fair greater degree of personalization than gnome, though. and defly looks better than openbox

indeed I re-did it with makepkg -s -L and searched the log and the error was much higher up

plasma-desktop/src/plasma-desktop-5.1.0/applets/kicker/plugin/findpackagenamejob.h:23:29: fatal error: PackageKit/Daemon: No such file or directory
 #include <PackageKit/Daemon>
                             ^
compilation terminated.

the odd thing is, packagekit-qt5 has been commented out as a dependency.
If I try to install packagekit-qt5, I see that it has a conflict with packagekit-qt so I assume that his provides the needed stuff...

EDIT:

"cheating" by symlinking packagekitqt5/Daemon to Daemon under /usr/include/PackageKit seems to work,
but I am very surprised that others have not been hit by this.

That's irrelevant: Cmake finds that it is installed, so it tries to compile PK support in kicker, which is broken. Either remove it before compiling, or compile it in a clean chroot.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see you've solved it. I doubt that many people have packagekit-qt installed so they are hit by this

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and willing to install plasma-desktop. Thanks kde developers and arojas to bring it to arch!

I just want to know if once plasma-desktop were installed would it be possible to get back to kde-4? If so, how?

Not sure if it answers your question properly, but I've completely uninstalled KDE4, installed Plasma5, and then uninstalled Plasma5 and re-installed KDE4. Doing so doesn't remove your user data from either, just the binaries, so I had little issue with uninstalling and reinstalling them.

I promised myself I wouldn't go back to Plasma 5 until it ends up in an official repo, though. Hate updating AUR packages.

New issue! not a big one but still an issue, since the last update the "Workspace Theme" thing in system settings changed, so now you can choose the "Look and feel" separately from the actual theme, that is, oxygen or breeze, and then the desktop theme, and that is the issue, the new "Desktop Theme" tab doesn't work, system settings crashes when I try to open it.

edit: a part of my message just got scrambled, what's up with that ?

Hi, I'm using 'aur/systemsettings-git' and it seems to be working for me. It isn't a tab though it is a button on the left side. It has "Look and Feel", "Desktop Theme", "Cursor theme" and "Splash Screen". Under "Look and Feel" I can select either Breeze or Oxygen. You might try the -git version to see if it works then.

I tried to install Plasma 5 with SDDM of course, and I had a weird problem: SDDM did not show any users at all. I tried also to create a /etc/sddm.conf file to set the autologin function but that did not work either. Have any of you had the same problem? Any ideas?

No. It worked well for me. The only problem I had was that I forgot to disable kdm using systemctl so when I tried to enable sddm I got an error message telling the file (for the display manager) already existed. I did not need to create a sddm.conf file at all nor edit one.

Scimmia · 2014-10-17 19:51:17

SDDM should default to showing all users with a UID >=1000 and UID <=65000. What users do you have on your system?

kostas213 · 2014-10-17 20:02:25

Ah... That is the problem. I have set a custom UID at my user (213). I didn't know that there was a convention about user IDs (>=1000). Thank you for the information, I'm going to test it!

Hmm okay I may give that a try, though I shouldn't really need to use the git packages

Be careful, you can't just change your uid. You can add it to sddm.conf so that it will show, though.

sl1pkn07 · 2014-10-17 20:54:37

have a problems with SDDM

don't apply the settings by /etc/sddm.conf. always show all ID (from 1000) and the theme always set MAUI theme.

and when close session and back to SDDM, how close SDDM to back to console? if turn to TTY2 and close with systemd, the TTY1 don't respond

my sddm.conf

[General]
AutoRelogin=false
AutoUser=
CurrentTheme=breeze
CursorTheme=Oxygen_Black
HaltCommand=
MaximumUid=1000
MinimumUid=1000
RebootCommand=

in the log say

/var/lib/sddm/.xsession-errors

Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0".

The SDDM configuration file format has changed in 0.9. In particular, theme settings must be under the [Theme] section, not under [General]. Use

sddm --example-config

to generate a sample sddm.conf

It's also pretty well spelled out in the sddm.conf man page.

then the kcm-sddm is outdated (now update)

So, how to install plasma-next? If I uninstall kdebase-workspace with pacman -Rdd, then kdm is missing, how to run the new kwin?

In kf5 kwin is gone, you'll need to use a different display manager, like sddm or lightdm.
